Auction House Question

How quaint.  😺

 

Pre-Shutdown, the Auction House without the current QoL changes was a way way WAY differently priced place.

 

Supplies of stuff was lower.  With Invention and SOs being awkward to use and Level-limited, everyone wanted IOs as they Levelled and thus Accuracy IOs.  Apparently not enough were playing arcs that had Luck Charms dropped as loot.  Because that one piece of Common Salvage was usually priced from a few to Tens of Millions of Inf.  Rare Salvage was always in the Tens of Millions and the price went up and down a lot.  PvP Recipes were much rarer and sold off-AH for prices in the Billions of Inf.

 

Seriously, that HO rarity has a know solution: Allow HOs to be Converted.  However, I've heard for some internal reasons, there are drawbacks to doing that.  Sigh.

The prices are generally pretty stable. apart from things that are hard to get anyway like D-Synchs. We seed salvage when needed, at high but not stupid prices. So there is a ceiling on salvage prices. If it became super inflationary I have no doubt cipher would seed whatever it was that was going berserk to cool it down and bring it under control. In all the time HC has been going there has never been a need, but we do have the tools available if it became necessary.
